 Domain Manager
 Setting up a multi-host environment
 Demo

Installation
 Two installation packages
– Main (full product)
• Download from PPA
– Domain host
• Created from main installation
• Subset of the product
 Selection of the edition to install
– User must select the edition to install
– Use streamtool updatelicense to update the license from Developer or Non-Production to Product
 Default installation directory
– Install as user root: /opt/ibm/InfoSphere_Streams
– Install as non-root user: ~/InfoSphere_Streams
 Version directory appended to the root installation directory specified during the installation
– Each new version, fixpack, interim fix is installed to different version directory.
– Can use same root directory for different versions, but must have same installation owner and group.
– User can install new code or fix without having to stop all applications, instances and domains.
– Installation root directory should be different than Version 3.2.1.x or prior.
 Updated software dependencies
 Supported Java development kits for x86_64 and Power
– Dropped Java 1.6
– Product runs on Java 1.7
 Platforms supported (separate installation package for RH6, RH7, SLES)
– Dropped RHEL 5
– Dropped RHEL 6.2 for PPC
– Added RHEL 7
– Added POWER8 for PPC
 SELinux
– Removed the InfoSphere Streams SELinux policy module.
– No installation restrictions when SELinux is enabled.
 Ulimit
– Increase in minimum value for: Max user processes >= 5000
– Same minimum value for: Open files >= 1024
– Captured with Streams logs
– Reported by dependency checker and checkhost

Uninstallation
• Uninstallation program for each version
• Before uninstalling:
• Stop all applications, instances and domain using this version
• Uninstallation code checks for active code only on the current host
• Cannot detect if code is active if installed in a shared file system
• If the system service is defined using this installation need to do an streamtool unregisterdomainhost
• Uninstallation log placed in home directory
• Only console and silent mode

Domain Manager
• Replacement for First Steps application
• Use combination of Domain Manager and Streams Console to do setup
• User interface to do set up, manage multiple domains for multiple Zookeeper installations
• Create basic and enterprise domains
• Remove
• Start
• Stop
• Edit domain properties
• Open Streams Console
• Generate public/private keys for a domain
• Install streams studio on local system
• Only runs native to host launched from
• How to open Domain Manager:
• Main installation post installation task
• source streamsprofile.sh; streamtool launch --domainmgr
• Script in <install-dir>/<version>/DomainManager.sh (does source and launch command)
• Caches application settings which can be changed in the application.

Multi-host environment setup (HA)
(Preferred setup running domain controller as a system service.)
• Installation options:
• Install the product on each host.
• Install the main installation package on one or more hosts and the domain host installation package
on all additional hosts.
• Install the product in a shared file system directory that is accessible from each host.
• Set up the domain controller service as a Linux system service on all hosts. This service
provides automatic recovery for the streams services from host failures. The product
provides interfaces to configure and manage the Linux system service.
• Requires user root to install domain host installation package and set up the system service.
• For managing and storing configuration information, InfoSphere Streams requires an Apache
ZooKeeper server.
• For authentication use a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server or Pluggable
Authentication Module (PAM) with the LDAP backend for user authentication (or other
backend that can be setup as highly available).
• Configure domains and instances to have standby domain and instance services.

Pre-Version 4.0 Compatibility Setup
(For users who already have Shared file system and SSH setup and do not want to do move to running
domain controller as system service.)
• Installation options:
• Install the product in a shared file system directory that is accessible from each host.
• Install the product on each host
• Install the product in the same location on each host.
• The installation owner and group must be the same on each host.
• The same version of the product must be installed on each host.
• If the installation is shared by multiple users, you must start the domains as the installation
owner.
• Set up SSH for each user of the product.
• No immediate recovery of Streams services if host crashes.
• For managing and storing configuration information, InfoSphere Streams requires an Apache
ZooKeeper server.
• For user authentication, use a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server or
Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM).

streamtool commands to manage system service
 registerdomainhost – registers a host with a domain, installs the domain controller
as a system service, starts the system service
 stopdomainhost – stops the domain control system service on this host
 startdomainhost – starts the domain control system service on this host
 unregisterdomainhost – removes the resource from the domain, removes the
domain controller system service
 getdomainhoststatus – returns the status of the domain controller system service
For information on streamtool commands, run streamtool man <command> or
see:http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSCRJU_4.0.0/com.ibm.streams.

Summary of setup for HA environment
(Instructions for installing all hosts then creating the domain.)
• Set up external Zookeeper; and set STREAMS_ZKCONNECT to the connection string
• Set up authentication mechanism (LDAP or PAM over LDAP)
• Using the main installation package install the product.
• Run ‘streamtool registerdomainhost’ command on the main management host
• Create the domain host package using “streamtool mkhostpkg”
• Creates a tar file with the domain host installation binary, dependency checker script,
streamsdomainhostsetup.sh script, response file, etc…
• For each additional host that you want in the domain
• Copy the domain host package to the host
• Extract the contents of the domain host package
• Run the dependency checker script
• Run the streamsdomainhostsetup.sh script
• Installs the boot strap code
• Registers the host with the domain, create the system service, register the system service with
the system and start the system service (i.e. streamtool registerdomainhost)
• From the main management host. Use the Domain Manager and Stream Console; or
streamtool to do this configuration.
• Create an enterprise domain
• Edit the domain properties and set the highAvailabilityCount property to at least 2.
• Tag resources
• Create instances
• Configure permissions
• Monitor your domain and instances
